As a 20-year old, this is my first presidential election and I have never been more excited to exercise my right to vote. Over the last three and a half years, I have seen qualities that I do not want the next president to have. Over the last few months, I have paid very close attention to the possible candidates and I can’t wait to effect change. These are 5 reasons that voting is important.
1. Every vote counts.
2. Voters 18 and older are the most diverse group.
3. Voting is your voice.
4. Voting Is an opportunity for change.
